These were some of tech search queries I and likely many other
mobile
Windows users have plugged into Google search over the last
several days. Since Microsoft released the Windows 8.1 update
last week, many users have been unable to download the RT version
of the operating system for mobile devices. Like me, many were
unable to even locate the update in the Microsoft Store in the
first place.

It turns out Microsoft removed the update from the Windows Store
on Saturday. In a statement sent to ZDNet, Microsoft said it
decided to remove the update as it investigates " a situation affecting a limited number of
users updating their Windows RT devices to Windows RT
8.1."

With Windows 8.1, Microsoft was aiming to assuage many of the
complaints that longtime Windows customers had when the company
rolled out the dramatically different Windows 8
interface last fall. The update includes the return (sort of) of
the beloved Start button, as well as a handful of other
improvements like improvements include better cloud integration,
more customizability and a native Bing search bar.

Microsoft is expected to unveil next-generation Surface tablets
at an event tomorrow. There is still no word about when a working
Windows 8.1 RT update will be available.
